How does a Video KAL (stands for Knit-Along) work?
As soon as you purchase your pattern you will get your pattern introduction and videos on sizing, yarn selection and gauge, as well as your schematic and material information, so plenty of time to order your yarn, pick your size and start your swatching.
The video class will be hosted on Patty Lyons's education platform. There will be discussion boards, quizzes and lots of help and interaction.
You will receive the whole pattern at once, on April 25, and people will be joining in all during the KAL, but to keep the fun of us all working together, the video tutorials will come out on a schedule.
